Lots of Love

I don't know if there is a name for the kind of card this is, I created it for a tutorial and just love the way it came out! The outside is simple enough, created with Real Red Cardstock, Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, and White Satin Ribbon.

But...open it up and out "pops" a surprise!

I decorated the inside with more Sending Love Paper and used the I {heart} Hearts Stamp Set and Simple Letters Bigz die and my Big Shot.

I love the way it turned out! Let me know what you think!

Late Night Stampers Challenge meets Mojo Monday

This week's Late Night Stamper's Challenge is to use everyone's Springtime favorite-butterflies! I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to create my Design Team entry.




I started my card with a Very Vanilla card base scroed at the top. I used Real Red carstock and Sending Love Designer Series Paper to create my layers. Stampin' Up's new Real Red Satin Ribbon adds the perfect touch along the bottom of the card, and some butterflies form the new Butterfly Sizzlet finish it off! (This sizzlet is a perfect way to use those tiny scraps of paper you always have left over!)



The sentiment inside of my card is from the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set in the big catalog.

Criss Cross Love....

This week's Late Night Stamper's Challenge is to use brads and I of course had to take the chance to use one of the new Real Red Epoxy Brads from the Occasions Mini Catalog out January 5th....along with this gorgeous paper!

More Sneak Peeks!!

How about a few more Sneak Peeks from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog, out January 5th??

I made this card using the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set. I stamped my flowers in Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, and Old Olive on Very Vanilla Cardstock. The images were then matted on Chocolate Chip and layered on Swiss Dot embossed Old Olive Cardstock I had run through my Big Shot. My card base was Very Vanilla as well. My sentiment, also from Vintage Vogue, was stamped in Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla, matted on Chocolate Chip and attached with a Mini Library Clip.


I am in Love with this next card! It features the I {heart} Hearts stamp set and the Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper! I LOVE this paper! Its glittery and fantastic! You can't see much in the picture but my little hearts were punched out of Real Red cardstock and adhered with slivers of Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is from Vintage Vogue.

Seriously, this card makes me so happy!!


I'd love to hear your thoughts about my cards and about the new products coming out in the Occasions Mini catalog!
